Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

    Lemons Build thread

    Thanks for letting me be a member and educating me on the platform. This is my first Honda car and I have been learning a ton through reading.

    My buddy and I bought a 92 Accord 2r EX with 238k on it. Its an auto so it should be a total slug but fun. It runs great but the brakes are all shot on it.



    Tear down





    Brakes are all shot so new rotors, calipers, front hubs and bearings.

    yup its a little rusty too

    Getting all the weight out I can

    Yank the AC components. That adds up to quite a bit of weight!

      I have the condensor out to make room for a bigger radiator but have not gotten to the compressor yet. It needs a timing belt so that will happen when I change that out

        That rust will reduce some weight, too.

          As long as the fan is working I doubt you have a need for a bigger radiator. It was about 104 degrees at Thunderhill and we never had an issue with our stock radiator. At our last race it was much cooler but our temp sensor stopped working so the fans didn't come on and during a long red flag it nearly overheated.

          BUT auto trannys will totally overheat under racing conditions. Plumb up a tranny fluid cooler and locate it where the condenser was. I have no idea how to do this but it should be done.

            Ya I got an external tranny cooler, I am going with a bigger radiator just in case. I am putting the fans on a switch as well

                  I assume you dont care about getting BS penalty laps? Springs, exhaust and radiator are going to push the car well over $500. I guess all that rust may offset that.

                    you know this website times out the login WAY TOO FAST. I wrote a nice reply and forgot to copy it before I hit send. I had been timed out and now I'm re-writing it. Here is approximately what I said...

                    The BS judges are not likely to care about the springs. Spray paint them flat black. They'll bounce the front corners and it won't seem too hard and they wont give it anymore thought. Now if you showed up with an E30 with cheaty suspension parts they'd give you hell. If you have bilstiens or koni yellows they'll give you hell. The radiator will get some attention since it is obviously not from a junkyard. But radiators don't make you go fast so they probably won't care. You'll get B class and zero laps. Hell with that auto-tranny they might give you C class. Slap a twin-cam VTEC motor in there and you'll be in A class for sure.

                    edit: thanks for the 2 comments below from ibus and deevergote, sorry I hijacked the thread a little

                              I love these builds. So fun watching the CB get built into a racecar.
